Pros

If you like overtime you'll get it here management has no idea how to hire, train and retain workers. Always understaffed so if you want to work an extra day and make that extra $200-300 then go ahead Medical benefit premiums are pretty cheap for the same UHC coverage that many other companies offer

Cons

Management talks to everyone like they're children or stupid. Just lack of basic respect. Supervisors here don't have an education, no real leadership skills or training they just happen to be the guys who got on their knees and slurped their way into a promotion

Pros

Stay long enough and make good money

Cons

Corporate level jobs may be good but the grunt jobs .. the ones that actually "make" the company are ridiculous... Management is intentionally clueless and often times turns a blind eye to the all that's going on... very few females in LEAD positions... many many many foreigners who barely speak English .... why is that the preference?? Questionable safety practices... meetings for safety are plentiful... but seldom enforced Little regard for employees welfare ... communication between management and employees is sketchy leading to a lot of rumors place is filthy ... until an inspection is approaching
